Criticism

The Janoskians have been criticised for their reckless, dangerous and juvenile behaviour, and pushing boundaries too far. Media commentator Prue MacSween stated that, “Their act – if you can call it that – is so juvenile, and I think really irresponsible. It’s astounding the power of the internet now. It just tells you that this global audience can be viral and suddenly nobodies with very little talent can suddenly be known by the world.” The group has been criticised for pulling “disgusting pranks on strangers” and for engaging in “sleazy, offensive and intimidating” behaviour around babies and women.

Dirty Pig Clothing

They had their own clothing line known as Dirty Pig Clothing. The line came to an end in early 2017, but has since been replaced with a new range of merchandise.
